I Bought A Refurbished Xbox One From GameStop...And This Is What They Sent Me

As this generation is coming to a close I wanted to look back at the original Xbox One that released back in 2013, specifically how it was built. The overall build quality of the Xbox One was actually pretty good and Microsoft seemed to go over the top with the size of the system to make sure the failure rate was much lower than the Xbox 360. I decided to order a Refurbished one from GameStop as well to take a look at what they were selling.

When Phil took the wheel he steered the ship in the right direction but by that point it was too late to save this generation. Everything he really has done has been setting up and preparing for the next generation. Not that there was much he could really have done by the time he took over but even with Phil if you bought an Xbox One you kinda got screwed over.

@@JJAB91 ? How so? I have both a PS4 and Xbone and I throughly enjoy both. If a lot of third party titles were exclusive to Playstation, then I could see Xbox players being "screwed over". The over reliance on the Kinect and charging 100 more was a bad call. As was cancelling Scalebound. That game looked really sweet and was from Platinum games too. 🙁 EDIT: I guess it depends on your "flavor" when it comes to the exclusives. Both consoles have some good ones, but I don't think every exclusive released on either platform is a slam dunk sotospeak.

[@SakuraAvalon]

John Mecca That's because both consoles were underpowered. The PS4 was just slightly stronger, allowing its ports to be higher frame rate/resolution in some instances. The difference wasn't anything noteworthy, but when you're buying a system, to play the same games, most people would get the version that runs the game slightly better, even if it's not as noticeable. Especially at that launch period, where you were paying an additional $100 to get the version that was at a lower resolution/frame rate.

[@eeel90]

After the Xbox 360 and Xbox one, PlayStation doesn't need points to compete or gain consumers. The PlayStation always delivers a quality console with very little issues and is actually superior. And it's player base is 2 times as big as Xbox at the moment. PlayStation will outsell Xbox at launch, again. And if Xbox doesn't keep up this time, and actually do more than PlayStation next time around, they will never catch up. And at this point , that's fine with me.

Generally louder and more obnoxious, overheating issues are more common though not always, and made from cheaper thinner plastic yes sir where can I sign up to have my freedom taken away to play with other consoles.

I have had more issues with my power brick than I have with the actual console. I have solely enjoyed my Xbox one for the last 6 years and it will definitely being shelved once its usage is done, especially considering my transition to PC.

[@maximvilleneuve5544]

Man, you showed me something I havent seen for years, and glad I'm not working with these anymore. When I worked at IBM, in Bromont Canada, I tested some of the CPU that got out of there. We got rid of many defective chips or we had chips with either missing balls or lost balls. Fun fact, they were tested on modified Xbox 360 boards. I saw the Xbox logo so much on to of the screens that I became sick of seeing it for the next 5 years.

They have really turned it around as a company. The fact they are willing to port pc version of their games over to steam now is amazing to me. Also how the PS4 Pro is louder then my stronger gaming laptop when its fans are turned up to max rpm.

[@ManiacG]

( i work at gamestop)the issue with refurbished systems is that when we send them to the warehouse to be fixed there is no accountability when someone works on em theres no quality control, while if we keep it in store from a system where there is nothing wrong if when we go to sell it and then find something wrong we are held accountable, I don’t personally ever recommend people buying refurbished systems due to the fact there’s no accountability on weather it will actually work and due to that there’s usually something still wrong with em

[@0yuuyake0]

I had this model, sounded good, looked great on the inside. When connected to the internet it would screech at an ungodly pitch and never stop till you unplugged the power. Would 10/10 recommend testing the internet on the thing before saying it seems great. Not trying to say anything about the video, love your videos!

If you are watching this video as a guide please don't pull the connectors out using the wires like this spud has done. Damaged the F out of the plastic cover with a screwdriver and probably frayed the wires that will cause hot spots and over time cause them to fail.

[@edge3220]

I'm finished with Xbox forever. I liked my 360 well enough, but Sony is my go-to platform now (and Nintendo for Nintendo games), and occasionally PC (I prefer physical over digital, but there are good digital exclusive games, some of which Sony never sells). There is literally no purpose for an Xbox when PC is superior and that's all Xbox is trying to emulate.

With the new xbox and how its designed it would be good if it can hold multiple discs it will store them inside on an internal shelf and it keeps track of what discs are stored inside it and you can select what game you want to play from a disc select menu

[@nickisdoge]

I honestly think the case has two main portions to it. The bottom half is all the components and the top half is just a gigantic fan about as wide as the console itself.

That's a very well made home console.

[@MrAnarchyMarine]

No, the sticking on the right trigger is due to the magnets in the controller. I've stripped mine down to clean it out, and saw why from purchase there was a minor attraction and release. The triggers work on a magnetic contact system, instead of the old systems that the 360 controller used back in the day. They also have their own tumblers for vibration when playing any game that includes driving, or flying. As long as you don't pull down too hard on the triggers during use, you will not notice it. That said shooter games that have a bow weapon, such as Destiny and Warframe can be problematic.
